Abstract

Purpose: Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to practitioners because of its rarity of occurrence, progressive nature of the deformity, and its simultaneous involvement of skeletal, occlusal and articular structures. Traditionally, costochondral grafts have been used for TMJ replacement in this sub-group of patients, but availability of patientfitted TMJ alloplastic replacement systems offers many benefits over autogenous replacement options.
